A record of my thoughts and activities while participating in the 40 Days of Purpose program at my church, based on the book The Purpose Driven Life.

Are You Happy?

Which do you select at the forks in the road, the happiness path or goal-fulfilling path? Two recent blog posts tugged at me from each direction:

Worthwhile: What makes you love what you do.

Seth's Blog: On thinking big.

Seth's post is like a kick in the gut, but one I can withstand. Perhaps the credit-card execs are pulling down the big bucks and having good eats. The CPAs down the hall (who are a lot like me) are missing out.

But the credit card execs treat their customers like numbers and their goals focus on making more money for themselves.

The CPAs know their customers and focus on helping them make money.

Sorry Seth, I'd rather be a CPA.
